Immaculate Conception Cathedral, Matehuala

Immaculate Conception Cathedral, Matehuala, Gothic Revival cathedral in Matehuala, Mexico.

The Immaculate Conception Cathedral features pointed arches, ribbed vaults, and flying buttresses, following the architectural principles of European medieval churches.

Construction of the cathedral began in 1906, but progress was interrupted when the original architectural plans disappeared during the Mexican Revolution of 1910.

The cathedral holds regular religious services and ceremonies for the Roman Catholic Diocese of Matehuala, serving as the primary spiritual center for local residents.

Located at the intersection of central Matehuala streets, the cathedral remains under construction with ongoing work focused on completing the main facade towers.

The cathedral's design draws direct inspiration from the Saint-Joseph des Brotteaux church in Lyon, France, incorporating both neo-Gothic and neo-Byzantine elements.
